| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In august of 2005, the warranty on my car was going to expire. i took the lincoln ls to the dealership to have them check the car over. i told them that 2 of my windows were making strange noises. when i would lower or roll up the windows it made a clicking sound and the windows kind of slammed shut. the very next week, my drivers side window fell down into the door and it wouldn't work! it made this horrible grating sound like the window had broken inside the door. i took the car to the dealership, where is cost me almost 400 dollars to get the window repaired and the service manager told me there had been many problems with the windows on the lincoln ls's. i now have two more windows making that same clicking noise and slamming shut when i use the window, so basically, i am unable to use the windows in my car because i can't fork out 800 dollars to get the windows fixed. the front side passenger window has started falling down 1/2 to inch even when no one is using the window. this is a huge problem and a safety issue. if i were in a wreck, i have no assurance that the windows would work properly if i were trapped in my car. its a safety issue in rainy weather, it is difficult to concentrate on driving when the window comes down and rain is pouring into the car. i have leather seats and rain would mess up my seats. it is also a safety issue during the summer and hot weather- suffocation could occur if i were trapped in the car! i have read literally 100's of complaints about this issue with the windows on the lincoln ls's. this is supposedly a luxury car- shouldn't lincoln be required to fix this problem once and for all so people can feel safe and use their car for the purpose it was bought instead of having to keep in it the shop every 2 or 3 months? *nm |
